A young boy, appearing to be pre-teen, walks through a narrow, unpaved alleyway in Jos, Nigeria. He is balancing a white plastic bucket, filled with water, on his head, lightly stabilizing it with his raised left hand. Visible perspiration or water droplets are on his forehead and left arm. He wears a light-colored, short-sleeved top with a dark, patterned central panel, light-colored shorts, and dark sandals. The ground consists of packed earth and sand, appearing uneven. To the left, a dark-toned concrete block wall runs parallel to the path. To the right, a light-toned concrete block wall is visible. Harsh, directional sunlight from the upper right illuminates the scene, casting long, distinct shadows, including the boy's elongated shadow, onto the path. Further down the alley, the path narrows slightly before opening to an indistinct area featuring a visible drainage channel or gully on the right.
